I don't see the racism in that tweet.

OMG, I agree with Honcho? Surreal...

You could take it as racist but you have to take it that way as it isn't in the actual words nor is the context racist. Seriously, you'll let the Chinese play after the Tibetan crackdown but African (including Arab, Berber and European colonists’ descendents) puns are racist? Priorities and scale people.
 
I would also speculate that just perhaps a blond Greek might have a little more sensitive considered take on ethnic/racial mixing than perhaps the majority of ethnically monolithic Olympic officials.

 A blonde Greek goddess looking athlete no less.

Would have been super for ratings, especially with the controversy.

To bad she wont be competing. 






 


Now we know why Honcho is in love with her.

Another site I post on had a Olympics discussion thread in the  "Just Converstation" forum where this and a couple other similar things were brought up and the mods moved  the thread  to the  "HotZone", a debate forum. Some of the  posters were talking about whether the thread should have been moved so I posted in irony:

"According to Richards GM, Oresajo CO, Halder RM. Structure and function of ethnic skin and hair. Dermatol Clin. 2003. Oct;21(4):595-600.

From Net Wellness ‘Ask the Expert’;

“Briefly, the stratum corneum, or the outer most layer of the skin of blacks has been shown to be made up of more layers when compared with that of whites."

Jennica  posted; “…then why not move it to its own thread in JC, where the "thin skinned" peeps can participate?”

One has to assume by “thin skinned” you are disparaging European and Asian posters by saying they need their own toned down thread as they obviously can't handle a full HZ heated debate. There for, using Olympic standards, you’re term “thin skinned” was racist and you are barred from Olympic competition."

Do we look for faux racism so we don't have to acknowledge real racism and our role in it? Cuz I mean man barring Papachristou because of her use of the word "African" is an insult to real true blood racist. I'm sure there are Clansmen out there scratching their flea ridden scalps over calling that rasist.

BAN NBC for rascist comments!

After Bob Costas paid tribute to Gabby Douglas's gold-medal glory, saying, "But there's some young African-American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves, 'I’d like to try that too,'" they immediately went to an ad featuring a monkey doing gymnastics.
